Comments on G. B. Sowerby’s identifications of South American fossil shells [812]. [Notes from more than one original memorandum].
Has marked probable depths of the specimens on CD’s list of S. American shells. Asks for details which would provide more precise conclusions. [See South America, p. 226.]
Fears he cannot supply additional data [on shells].
Makes suggestions for Thomas Edmondston, naturalist on board the Herald, of places to visit and geological data to collect on proposed California expedition.
